Victor opened the door and saw Miss Gillian standing in the middle of the room.

The loose thin linen robe was torn into a short skirt, and the skirt was tattered, and with those thrilling long legs, there was a wild temptation. The blouse is knotted at the waist, tightly wrapping the round and straight twin peaks, the flat lower abdomen shows a sexy vest line, and the beautiful phoenix eyes flash with a proud and cold light, like a queen who is high above, people can't help but want to conquer her, or be conquered by her.

Gillian has a complexion like honey, eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a hot body, cold and sexy, compared to the high-level female knights who are friendly with the water element, she has another masculine beauty. On weekdays, Gillian is unruly and arrogant, but Victor knows that she is a little woman in her bones, stingy and money-obsessed, rigid on the outside and soft on the inside.

Victor's moon elf bloodline is naturally affinity with the elements of feng shui, and Gillian is a high-ranking female knight with the elements of affinity, perhaps because of the combination of elements, the two are harmonious and have a very harmonious relationship. Miss Gillian's pleasant and embarrassed, unconvinced and feminine demeanor always makes Victor burst with confidence, and he can't help but want to protect this little woman who is strong and middle-class.

This is, of course, an illusion. High-ranking female knights are never attached to men, and even the lovers of the Golden Knight cannot force them. As a powerful silver knight, Gillian's happy love and caring companion cannot shake her faith. In a sense, Victor is her prey.

Victor knew this, but when he thought of Gillian marrying someone else, he couldn't help but be jealous, and he asked, "Who is that man?!"

Gillian was slightly stunned for a moment, then the corners of her mouth turned up, and she walked in front of Victor with a bewitching step, and teased happily: "Baby, you came here in the middle of the night, not for the port, but because of jealousy? ”

Belch...... Mainly for Wild Willow City.

Victor naturally wouldn't say anything that was uninteresting, he followed Gillian's meaning, and deliberately said with a straight face: "You haven't answered my question yet." ”

"Listen, you're in big trouble, someone is robbing your woman. Gillian crossed her waist with one hand and looked at Victor and said, "How are you going to rescue me?"

Victor twisted Gillian's smooth face and said angrily, "The Chebman family is sneaking out the fishmen on the riverbank, and you don't tell me." Now that the royal family has begun to covet the territory of the Chebman family, you only think that I am your man. What were you doing?"

"You are my man, not the husband of the heir to the Chebman family. Why should we tell you about our family's internal affairs?" said Gillian with a sense of urgency.

Well said...... Victor's momentum suddenly leaked, and he coughed dryly: "Let's talk about it specifically, I'll see if there is anything I can do......"

Gillian sat down under the sofa, her straight and slender legs resting on the coffee table, and said with her hands on her chest: "It's not a secret that you built a control gate on the bank of the Jinshui River. We see the value of water conservancy projects in our eyes, and it just so happens that the river beach fishmen in the Chebman territory have also been cleaned by ant tides, so we plan to follow the example of the Centaur Hills and build canals to divert water to the east of the territory and reclaim farmland and pastures. At present, we have built 11 guard posts and a control gate on the beach, basically controlling the 15-kilometre-long beach. ”

As a result, the canal had not yet been built, and the first reservoir had just begun to be dug when the Auguste family approached it. I'm really. Gillian huffed.

Victor thought for a moment and asked, "How long of aqueduct are you going to build?"

"The canal first goes north, then east, and finally joins the waters of Blue Goose Lake, which is expected to be 65 kilometers long and has a total of 7 node reservoirs. Gillian replied.

"65 kilometers? That's not more than 400,000 acres of arable land? It's been four years since the ant plague, and you just started digging the reservoir?" Victor said incredulously: "This is a loss-making investment! What are you thinking?"

The cost of building 65 kilometres of canals and seven nodal reservoirs, together with the cost of cultivating farmland, would not have been less than 30,000 gold soles, but the largest investment was not the hard-earned money of the hired workers, but the cost of the war to clear the fishmen.

The fish-men will never be killed, but if they don't control the number of fish-men on the riverbank, they will one day bulldoze the gate, so the war against the fish-men is endless. Every arrow shot by a soldier is money, the wear and tear of armaments is also a huge financial burden, and most importantly, the territory is at war, and the vassal soldiers who perform combat missions cannot engage in productive labor and do not need to pay tribute to the family, and the lord also bears the daily expenses of the soldiers, paying bounties and disability pensions.

The York family has a knight stationed in the temperance gate, three trainee knights and 600 soldiers, rotating every 5 months, and Victor takes the river beach fishmen as a training object, but even so, the Duke of York feels a little difficult, but the water conservancy project in the Centaur Hills can increase hundreds of millions of acres of farmland and pastures, and the war to clear the river beach fishmen must be fought forever. Just like the Borui Kingdom, for the sake of the products of the Seven Great Alliances, their war with the fishmen lasted for hundreds of years.

If there is no huge return, who has nothing to provoke the fish-people?

Count Chebman was stingy and shrewd, and 400,000 acres of arable land was not worth the endless battles he endured. For four years, the Chebman family insisted on clearing the fishmen and occupying the riverbank, but did not seize the time to build aqueducts and artificial lakes.

Input, no output, this is not like the style of Count Chebman.

Gillian looked at Victor and said, "On the day of the final of the tournament, Grand Duke Williams bet on 18-year-old Hanisi Jörn for 5,000 gold soles, Lady Caterina bet on Jaime to win, and you bet on Hannisey to win for 100 gold soles. Because of the trouble between you and Sophia, the representatives of the major families are relieved. ”

Victor smiled proudly: "I am the independent lord of the Centaur Hill, I cooperate with the regent, bet on Hanisi to win, how can it be regarded as a spoiler?"

"Well, you're the most cunning. Gillian smiled and added, "At that time, everyone was silent, only Joshua and the representatives of the Solim family made their attitude clear to Archduke Williams. The Joshua family used 2,000 gold soles to bet on Hannisey to win, and they sided with the Auguste family, and they were not afraid of the York family's grudge. The representative of the House of Solim bet on Hannisey to win with 100 gold soles, and his actions were in line with the vassal lords of the House of York, openly mocking Archduke Williams. ”

"Caterina is the concubine of the Duke of Joshua, and it would be strange if the Joshua family did not show favor to the Kite Castle and disassociate themselves from the Yorks. Victor frowned and said, "The Solim family is openly dissatisfied with the royal family. It seems that the Kite Castle has reached a tacit agreement with your Chebman family, and Grand Duke Williams intends to support you to replace the Solim family as the leader of the southern family. What are the specific conditions of the Grand Duke?"

"The cries of the losers went unanswered. Gillian didn't answer Victor directly, but asked, "Do you know who the representative of the Solim family is?"

"Boris Solim, 57 years old, trainee knight promoted through the potion of potions, scholar nobleman, son of Marion Solim, eldest grandson of the Marquis of Solim. Victor said.

Gillian nodded and said, "Boris is now the first in line to the throne of the Solim family, and his father, Marion, passed away four years ago. The Marquis of Solim was not a secret about the death of his eldest son, but he was also trying to downplay the impact of the succession of heirs, and did not even give the inheritance to his eldest grandson. Now, the descendants of the Marquis of Solimm are fighting for succession. I think...... Boris may not be able to become a marquis, and he may die young. ”

"What?" Victor said in shock: "Is the Solim family so weakened that they can't even control the internal situation?" I remember that the Solim family has two great knights, and the Marquis of Solim himself is still a peak silver knight......"

Gillian said contemptuously: "Marquis of Solim is already 103 years old, what can he do with the 36 elemental bits? He wants to set foot in the golden realm and faces two problems, one is to communicate with the elemental sea, and the other is to accept the baptism of the elemental sea and survive." The former is related to blood, and the latter is a test of faith. With the current bloodline of the Solim family, it is impossible for the old guy to communicate with the Elemental Sea, and the only way out for him now is to pass the trial of life and death and knock on the door of the Elemental Sea. The stronger the knight, the more terrifying the opponent of the trial of life and death, and the trial of life and death of the peak silver knight is often the funeral they prepare for themselves. ”

"In two years at most, the old fellow should head out into the northern wilderness in search of a trial opponent. And we, the Chipman family, have been waiting for many, many years......" Gillian's tone was cold and her eyes burned.

Victor muttered: "The Solim family still has 20,000 square kilometers of territory, as well as a strong castle fortress, more than 5,000 vassal soldiers, and more than 30,000 militia ......"

"They still have many family heirs!" Gillian interrupted Victor's words and said, "The Marquis of Solimm has 17 brothers, 23 sisters, almost all of them have passed away, but their descendants are still in the Marquis of Solim, the old guy himself has had children since he was 15 years old, and has had 17 women, these women have borne him 36 children, but none of them have become Silver Knights. Now, the old guy is going to die, what will these descendants of him do? What will the vassal lords of House Solim do?"

"Castles always fall apart from within, and families always decay from the bloodline. As early as more than two hundred years ago, the big family no longer exchanged foster heirs with Solim, they could only absorb the bloodline of the small family, and even intermarried at the expense of close relatives......" Gillian pursed her lips and said disdainfully: "A weak bloodline is a weak bloodline, what's the use of having more?" ”

Victor couldn't help but be in a trance, he once passed by the copper city of the Solim family, and the old marquis was personable, neither humble nor arrogant, which left a good impression on him. At the dinner, the old marquis did not arrange for the noble daughter of the family to surround Victor. In fact, only silver-rank female knights are worthy of a noble blood and popular marksman. This is probably the last dignity of the old Marquis of Solim.

"It doesn't help the old guy to arrange the heir of the family, he has too many children and grandchildren, everyone has the right to inherit, and everyone wants to win over the vassal lord and look for strong foreign aid. The division of the House of Solim is inevitable! The vassal lords must plan ahead. ”

Gillian said proudly: "Our Chebman family has a noble bloodline, with four great knights, my parents are big knights, I am a big knight, my uncle De Wett is a big knight, my sister and younger brother have also awakened their fighting spirit, especially Anwen's little guy, who is only 11 years old and has resonated with 8 elemental positions, which is even more powerful than me...... It's only a little bit better. ”

Victor had an idea, and suddenly realized: "The canal can go west or south into the Marquis of Solim, and the vassal lords of the Solim family are providing you with funds to clear the fishmen and build the canal?"

"Of course, we never do loss-making business!" Gillian smiled and said triumphantly: "To tell you the truth, in the past four years, several vassal lords of the Solim family have been secretly negotiating with us, and if they want to rise, they must obtain the bloodline of the Chebman family, and we will use the canal to swallow one-third of the marquisate, and finally enter the copper city." ”

Victor paced back and forth two steps, and said: "Whoever ascends the throne of the marquis will die!" Those puppets supported by the vassal lords, in the name of self-preservation, occupy the copper city, demand independence, and join the Chebman family. Because the stakes are high, you didn't show any words, but you couldn't hide it from the secret agents of the kiteburg. ”

"No wonder the representatives of the Solim family openly expressed their opposition to Archduke Williams, and Boris was asking for help from the Yorks. ”

Miss Chebman said categorically: "The York family will not meddle in the southern territory, otherwise it will cause a backlash from the major families. After a pause, he added: "In fact, the southern lords are secretly supporting our Chebman family, Gambis needs a stable south, and our plan has also been tacitly approved by the kite. If the Marquis of Solimm fails to become the Golden Knight, our Chebman family will replace Solim and get a seat in the Senate. ”

Victor nodded: "Kite Castle doesn't want Wellington, Joshua and York, the three major families will interfere in the Southern Territory, so they will naturally support your Chebman family to lead the Southern Lords Group." However, Kite Fort now has an excuse to directly intervene in the affairs of the South, even including Yehliu City...... This is indeed contrary to the tradition of the kingdom of feudal divisions, and no one wants them to do so, and no one can stop them. ””

The thought of the fact that Yehliu City was full of agents from the Kite Castle, Victor felt his head extremely big, but he was helpless.

Gillian was silent for a moment, then stood up and complained, "I really don't understand, why should the Pope be alarmist?"

"You also think those are alarmist statements?" asked Victor.

"Hmph, if there is a catastrophe, the Pope should use great prophecy instead of unfounded speculation!"

Referring to Sophia's experience in the Borui Kingdom and Sylvia's judgment, Victor roughly understood the Pope's intentions, and he shook his head and sighed: "Use an unknown disaster to prompt the human kingdom to shift from internal fighting to outward expansion...... I am afraid that this is the Pope's real intention. Archduke Williams is just going with the flow, and the affairs of the southern lords of Gambis are nothing to His Holiness the Pope. ”

Gillian was a little depressed, but she also knew that what Victor said was true. The rivalry between the Chebman family and the Solim family is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Pope. She said sullenly, "Archduke Williams sent someone to see my father, and they asked for marriage. The cousin of the former King Lane, the Grand Knight Weigel August, was my marriage partner...... The Kite Castle asked us to canonize him 4,000 square kilometers of territory around the Temperance Gate. The royal family will help us to take possession of the Bronze City legally and canonize my father as a hereditary duke......"

"The conditions are very good. Just promise to come down. Victor said, touching his chin.

"What a fart!" said Gillian angrily, "we rely on bloodlines and canals to enlist the support of the Southern Lords. If the canals and the port were all in the hands of the royal family...... The blood of the Augustian family is indeed more noble than ours. Who will the Southern Lords follow, you say? Weigel? or me?"

Victor frowned and said, "Then don't marry the royal family." It's better to cede the territory directly to the Augustian family......"

"How is this possible!" Gillian glared at Victor and said angrily, "If we cede the territory for no reason, will the reputation of our Chebman family be lost?"

Victor's face sank like water, his eyes flickering. Gillian immediately became alert, she leaned into her lover's ear, and said half-coquettishly and half-threateningly: "Don't worry, my dear, I won't sleep with him...... You are not allowed to help the Solim family, or else you ...... Hmph!"

This is precisely what annoys Victor the most.

The bloodline of the Chebman family is very special, the male knights are friendly to the water element, and the female knights are friendly to the earth element. There are pros and cons to this bloodline, Gillian is limited by innate conditions, her strength is not as good as that of male Grand Knights, but she also has less risk of interacting with her half-line mate. The Count of Chebman and his wife are both great knights with a water affinity, and they have given birth to three offspring in a row, which is almost unimaginable for the average grand knight couple.

It is very embarrassing to be able to give birth, but the bloodline is not strong enough. The Chebman family has never had a Golden Knight, and they have always wanted to gain a strong bloodline. The Auguste family seized on the weakness of Count Chebman, and the so-called resistance was probably only Gillian's personal will.

Gillian is now emotionally entrenched, but Victor doubts how long she can hold out.

Unless...... If the Auguste family and the York family are united, the Earl of Chebman can only obediently cede the territory, and the reputation of the Chebman family has nothing to do with me? I only want Gillian. However, with Sylvia's strength, even if the York family marries the royal family, the noble daughter of the family must be the queen. Anna's identity, talent, and age are worthy of Prince Edward. However, Edward was already engaged to Margaret of House Wellington, and the Kite Castle was no less rebellious than a relenting ...... Sylvia robbed a queen and forced the royal family to marry a noble daughter of the House of York...... Moreover, the strength of the August family exceeds that of the York family, and they must show their strength to other lords by suppressing the York family, otherwise the power and influence of the York family will expand very quickly, causing a chain reaction. It is no wonder that King Lane would rather subdue the House of York by force than marry them.

A soft but firm force pulled Victor into an elastic embrace, and Gillian hugged him, licked her plump lips, and said in a coquettish voice, "In the Rose Manor, the man who sleeps the Queen of the Rose...... I get excited when I think about it. ”

Victor was furious and sneered, "Excited, see how I clean you up!"

Sylvia lay unthought in her comfy bed, as the ripples of the water element in the courtyard woke her from her deepest sleep.

Opening her bright eyes, Sylvia did not summon her attendants, got up alone, walked to the window and jumped lightly, and landed silently on the lawn outside the window, and she walked barefoot into the depths of the courtyard.

The moonlight is like water, sprinkled all over the courtyard, a slender girl sits on a hanging chair, swinging, white and golden hair swaying in the wind, and her delicate little face meets the moonlight, pure and beautiful, like an elf.

"Sylvia, are you satisfied with the gift I gave you?"

Sylvia put her hand on her forehead and sighed helplessly: "Roland, you hate it the most......"
